The Splendid Sampler™: Block 30

Block n.30 for The Splendid Sampler™is called “Simple Surprises”, by Amy Ellis. After all the paper-piecing involved in the last two blocks (and in my case, the paper-piecing involved in Cotton&Color BoM pieced also this week, and not yet entirely finished), this simple, quick pieced block was to be thanked for. I really like it and it would make for a terrific quilt on its own.

This pattern also gives room for playing with fussy-cuts and embroidery; lots of variations and the pattern are here.

Hello Christine! This fabric is absolutely gorgeous, I’m sorry the photos don’t make it justice. And thank you for wishing me luck… I’ve still to start working on it: I’m not sure what thread to use (I’m trying to avoid Mouliné), and I want to try to use the Pigma pens… which first I need to purchase. But I’m really looking forward to it, some new stitches to learn on this one!

All photos, content and opinions are my own, unless otherwise stated. I will try to link to any original source and name the author, book or magazine from which and idea, pattern or any related material comes from. If, nevertheless, you find something you do not agree with, please let me know so I can amend it. Thank you!
